Regarding the "time_t - time since epoch type".
This is not true actually as shown in the specification http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg14/www/docs/n1124.pdf
See on page 350 at 7.23.1.(4) Components of time: "The range and precision of times representable in clock_t and time_t are implementation-defined.".
Thus, it should be "time_t - time since epoch type for most compilers such as gcc"!
